<span>I think they're looking for 'isolate' maybe..or it could be 'solve' </span>
A1 would be the first y value, which is 3 and d is the ratio ( distance between each y value) which is 3 ( add 3 to the y value to get the next one)
The answer is a1= 2, d = 3
(3x+8)(3x+8) is the answer :))
roots of a polynomial are (x-c1)(x-c2)(x-c3) .......(x-cn). Basically, plug every root you have into a (x-__) and then multiply them all together. Just be careful of signs. If your root is positive, it is written as (x-__). If your root is negative, it is written (x+__)
<span>I got x^5-5x^4+5x^3+5x^2-6x</span>
